Star Wars games for the Wii?

[erasure fan1]

I wonder 2 things:
1. Will this game use the euphoria engine like the 360 and ps3 or will it be a basic port of the ps2 version with slightly better visuals.
2. Will they do actual motion control or just the "waggle" control like lego starwars and so many other wii titles.

I think its good they are doing this but I worry because its not a new title for the wii it will be a basic port of the ps2 with wii control just slapped over top. I hope not, but Lucas does have a history of trying to make a fast buck off of starwars. And this game is not being done by lucas arts, but by krome studios.

I personally think it will involve true motion control, at least with the exclusive Duel Mode.

As for Euphoria, very little is known about it. I think it might. The article suggests it.

I sure hope so, but I will believe it when I see it. I think that if its not true motion control its a big blow to the wii for the long term.

The the Wii i capabl of great motion control, so I think there is a very good chance.

Well looks like no true motion control for the wii, oh well, maybe next starwars game.

What do you mean?

Yahoo reported that the Wii version is getting a lot of attention because of the fact that the game promises the most realistic lightsaber movements ever.

The developer (krone studios) came out and said it

According to the producer, the game recognizes five different motion directions from each of the controls, each applied to different moves in the game

A different article the developer said the wii just wasnt powerful enough to do true motion control for that game. The wii version does get 5 extra levels, I think, that the 360 and ps3 will not. Well at least we have a release date, Sept 16th.

 

[darthjohnny]

I don't know. The new behind the scenes footage made it look pretty good for the Wii.

They just said yesterday that the first level you get to play as Vader! Thats going to be awesome, his main power is a crazy force choke. You start off as Vader, then when you find your apprentice you switch to him for the rest of the game.

The Wii version will be one of the best looking Wii games to date. For obvious reasons it doesnt look near as good or have the euphoria/DMM like the 360 or ps3 but thats why they added the extra levels which is cool.

 

[darthjohnny]

Yes, I love the fact you play as Vader. I knew they were going to let you play as him (by either a level or unlockable character).

I find it interesting that you play Vader in order to find the Secret Apprentice on Kashyyyk.

The 27 characters you can play in Duel Mode from all aspects of the Star Wars Univers (The Force Unleashed, Prequels & Sequels, and Expanded Universe) make it very cool in the Wii version.

I'm glad we finally got a date after it kept being delayed.

I wonder if on the specials airing on Spike TV during the Star Wars movies will finally reveal the Secret Apprentice's name.

Can't wait for this game! :sohappy:

 

[erasure fan1]

It looks like we wont get a name until the game is released. I hope you can unlock Vader so you can play the whole game with him, that would rock.

This story better be as good as they keep telling us. Lucas has sworn it into star wars cannon. They say its going to really tie the 2 trilogy's together. I am so syched up for this game! Lucas dont let me down!

 

[darthjohnny]

I think it should be good.

It looks like **Possible Spoiler Warning** you'll be battling a Battle Damaged Darth Vader. And there will be multiple endings (some that would change the outcome of the Star Wars universe).

On Game Trailers TV and the Behind-the-Scenes segment on Spike they mentioned the extra levels in the Jedi Temple on the Wii version and the duel mode. It looked cool.

I just wish they didn't keep pushing it back.

 

[erasure fan1]

Yea they have the "good ending/Bad ending" for this game. I bet it will be like the EP-III game, if you play as obi-wan and beat anikan it ends as normal but if you play as anikan and beat obi-wan you take over the galaxy.

Go to our local Wal-Mart or Target. There are several figures and vehicles out and you can get a little insight and story to Unleashed from the descriptions on the packages. No name on the Apprentice yet but a few other good tidbits. One I like is a character with lightsaber tonfas.

Yeah they're cool.

Lego already came out with a set that reveals a little more to the plot and the action figures they are coming out with (like redeemed Apprentice) do as well.

I will be playing Unleashed on the 360 to start with. Wii might be a Christmas or Tax rebate present....If I can find one.
